MUMBAI, India, Nov. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517094645 A) filed by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A/S, Brande, Denmark, on Oct. 1, for 'method of controlling a wind turbine.'
Inventor(s) include Enevoldsen, Peder Bay; Gonzalez, Alejandro Gomez; and Poulsen, Steffen Frydendal.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 7, under issue no. 45/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention describes a method of controlling a wind turbine (1) with a rotor comprising a plurality of rotor blades (10), each equipped with an active flap arrangement (2) at its trailing edge (10TE), which method comprises the steps of determining a set (S10) of rotor blade flutter conditions, wherein each rotor blade flutter condition comprises a combination of rotor blade parameters (?, ?) at which rotor blade flutter would develop; and, during operation of the wind turbine (1), monitoring the rotor blade parameters (?, ?) and, when the parameters (?, ?) of a rotor blade (10) approach a rotor blade flutter condition, controlling the active flap arrangement (2) of that rotor blade (10) to increase aerodynamic damping of the rotor blade (10). The invention further describes a wind turbine (1) comprising a means (12, 14) of controlling the active flap arrangements (2) using the inventive method."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 28, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/083268.
